Now before we get into more details let us be aware of this initiative.\u00a0The Vegan Wardrobe is the ultimate destination for sustainable fashion. It is cruelty-free fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog that curates a guide to an environment-friendly living. Gauri\u00a0aims at bringing about a consumer-driven revolution and aligns with the fact that if every one of us starts investing in the right kind of products i.e. products which are sustainable and cruelty-free, we\u2019ll be doing so much as a whole to change the way animals are treated in the world and hence contributing our bit towards climate change. She has been fond of animals since a young age and her empathy with them pushed her to create this space to start a dialogue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theveganwardrobeofficial.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\"><strong>Check out The Vegan Wardrobe<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_383276\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-383276\" style=\"width: 853px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"383276\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/meet-gauri-awasthi-writer-on-ttt-buzzfeed-india-and-co-founder-of-the-vegan-wardrobe-ss-interview\/img_9541\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221656\/IMG_9541.jpg?fit=853%2C1280&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"853,1280\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_9541\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221656\/IMG_9541.jpg?fit=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221656\/IMG_9541.jpg?fit=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-383276 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221656\/IMG_9541.jpg?resize=853%2C1280&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"meet-gauri-awasthi-writer-on-ttt-buzzfeed-india-and-co-founder-of-the-vegan-wardrobe-ss-interview\" width=\"853\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221656\/IMG_9541.jpg?resize=853%2C1280&#038;ssl=1 853w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221656\/IMG_9541.jpg?resize=853%2C1280&#038;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221656\/IMG_9541.jpg?resize=853%2C1280&#038;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221656\/IMG_9541.jpg?resize=853%2C1280&#038;ssl=1 682w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-383276\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Think of all the beauty around you, and BE HAPPY!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Let us get into a conversation with Gauri:<\/p>\n<h3>1. What according<strong><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>to you is the most important quality a person should have to become a poet or a writer?<\/h3>\n<p>I think empathy is the answer for all artistic professions. A sense of understanding of the position and problems of everybody else does not only make one a better writer or poet but a better person in fact. The world would be a kinder place if we all practiced empathy like religion. But then again, everybody\u2019s definition of better varies.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Can you describe the time when you first realised that this was something you absolutely had to do?<\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t think it came like a sudden revelation or anything of that sort. There were no thunder crackling purple skies or a heavenly intervention, so to say. It was mundane and calming at the same time. There was a sense of urgency, of course. The kind that makes you want to jump into the river, the moment you realise how much you love swimming, or drowning I\u2019d rather say would be a more appropriate parallel to draw.<\/p>\n<p><img data-attachment-id=\"383277\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/meet-gauri-awasthi-writer-on-ttt-buzzfeed-india-and-co-founder-of-the-vegan-wardrobe-ss-interview\/dt0mmwlumaaytoc\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221805\/DT0MmWLUMAAyTOc.jpg?fit=960%2C1200&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"960,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DT0MmWLUMAAyTOc\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221805\/DT0MmWLUMAAyTOc.jpg?fit=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221805\/DT0MmWLUMAAyTOc.jpg?fit=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-383277 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221805\/DT0MmWLUMAAyTOc.jpg?resize=960%2C1200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"meet-gauri-awasthi-writer-on-ttt-buzzfeed-india-and-co-founder-of-the-vegan-wardrobe-ss-interview\" width=\"960\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221805\/DT0MmWLUMAAyTOc.jpg?resize=960%2C1200&#038;ssl=1 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221805\/DT0MmWLUMAAyTOc.jpg?resize=960%2C1200&#038;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221805\/DT0MmWLUMAAyTOc.jpg?resize=960%2C1200&#038;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221805\/DT0MmWLUMAAyTOc.jpg?resize=960%2C1200&#038;ssl=1 819w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3. What are your writings mainly based on? And how do you get the ideas to start off with the writings?<\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t think there is one particular thing they are based on. They are all inspired from different aspects of my own life and everybody else\u2019s. Like all art, it can be triggered by anything, right from a piece of wood to a broken heart to the violence against women.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Whose writings inspire you the most and why?<\/h3>\n<p>There are a lot of writers and poets that inspire me. To name one wouldn\u2019t be fair or truthful. Sylvia Plath, Maya Angelou, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Sharon Olds, Rabindranath Tagore &#8211; I go back to their work often. Recently I read the poems of Indian poets like Eunice De Souza and Tishani Doshi, their poetry has inspired me to stick to my own voice.<\/p>\n<h3>5. What do you try to communicate through your writings ?<\/h3>\n<p>I think writing is a very selfish profession. Most of the times, there is nothing I particularly want to say to anyone. Or I probably don\u2019t write to say something, or expect a certain kind of response. If a message is delivered, it\u2019s a brownie point but when I am writing, it\u2019s always just what I\u2019ve felt or experienced or lived in those moments. How one reads them, can communicate an entirely different message so one never really knows.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_383278\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-383278\" style=\"width: 523px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"383278\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/meet-gauri-awasthi-writer-on-ttt-buzzfeed-india-and-co-founder-of-the-vegan-wardrobe-ss-interview\/b7c60bb9-a476-4d2c-a874-d74d1003741e\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221829\/b7c60bb9-a476-4d2c-a874-d74d1003741e.jpg?fit=523%2C523&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"523,523\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"b7c60bb9-a476-4d2c-a874-d74d1003741e\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221829\/b7c60bb9-a476-4d2c-a874-d74d1003741e.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221829\/b7c60bb9-a476-4d2c-a874-d74d1003741e.jpg?fit=523%2C523&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-383278 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221829\/b7c60bb9-a476-4d2c-a874-d74d1003741e.jpg?resize=523%2C523&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"meet-gauri-awasthi-writer-on-ttt-buzzfeed-india-and-co-founder-of-the-vegan-wardrobe-ss-interview\" width=\"523\" height=\"523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221829\/b7c60bb9-a476-4d2c-a874-d74d1003741e.jpg?resize=523%2C523&#038;ssl=1 523w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221829\/b7c60bb9-a476-4d2c-a874-d74d1003741e.jpg?resize=523%2C523&#038;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23221829\/b7c60bb9-a476-4d2c-a874-d74d1003741e.jpg?resize=523%2C523&#038;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-383278\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">If the only prayer you say in your entire life is THANK YOU, it will be enough!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/pritam-das-photographer-picturing-stories-ss-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meet &#8220;Meet Pritam Das, Whose Magnificent Photography Skills Not Only Depict The Beauty Of A Place But Also A Story Behind It!&#8221;<\/a><\/em><\/h3>\n<h3>6. Is there any difference between the old age poets and the modern day young poets? Is yes ,what and which one do your prefer personally!<\/h3>\n<p>I think modern day young poets (and I acknowledge being a part of this generation) are much lazier than old age poets and that comes with the advent of social media. You just write some unedited cliche poems, hashtag them right, use beautiful outsourced images and fonts &#8211; Boom! You\u2019re famous.<br \/>\nThis has clearly developed a sense of instant popularity and gratification amongst young poets resulting in the clutter as well as exploitation of poetry online such that every second person you know is a poet. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s good at all because really clear voices are lost in this quest to get more likes or become a more famous poet. And poetry has always been beyond that. I am a fan of all things old &#8211; books, vinyl records, cassettes and the same is the case with poets.<\/p>\n<h3>7. What was your first writing about and how did you come up with it?<\/h3>\n<p>I am pretty sure it was a stupid love poem. I wrote it \u00a0for a teenage crush who I never gathered the courage to talk to. Eventually he left school and I cried my eyes out writing a rhyme poem about how beautiful his eyes were. \u00a0I regret the fact that it was a rhyme as well as love poem.<\/p>\n<h3>8. Do you think social media plays an important role in a career of a writer or a poet to get established? Reasons!<\/h3>\n<p>I definitely think it does influence the image of a writer or poet but it\u2019s not the end point for establishing a career in the field. I know a lot of publishing houses that only publish your work if you have enough followers on Instagram and the like, but at the same time I\u2019ve seen voices come from absolutely nowhere that have eventually established themselves as pioneers in poetry. So I guess it\u2019s the writer\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_383283\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-383283\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-attachment-id=\"383283\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/student-stories\/meet-gauri-awasthi-writer-on-ttt-buzzfeed-india-and-co-founder-of-the-vegan-wardrobe-ss-interview\/img_20160615_103141\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23222645\/IMG_20160615_103141.jpg?fit=1280%2C1600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1280,1600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_20160615_103141\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23222645\/IMG_20160615_103141.jpg?fit=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23222645\/IMG_20160615_103141.jpg?fit=819%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-383283 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23222645\/IMG_20160615_103141.jpg?resize=1280%2C1600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"meet-gauri-awasthi-writer-on-ttt-buzzfeed-india-and-co-founder-of-the-vegan-wardrobe-ss-interview\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23222645\/IMG_20160615_103141.jpg?resize=1280%2C1600&#038;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23222645\/IMG_20160615_103141.jpg?resize=1280%2C1600&#038;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23222645\/IMG_20160615_103141.jpg?resize=1280%2C1600&#038;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/student-stories.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/student-stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/23222645\/IMG_20160615_103141.jpg?resize=1280%2C1600&#038;ssl=1 819w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-383283\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Be faithful in small things because it is in them that the strength lies!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>9.

Tell us in details about The Vegan Wardrobe!<\/h3>\n<p>So The Vegan Wardrobe is an initiative by my elder sister &#8211; Ms. Purvika Awasthi and I, to raise awareness about ethical and sustainable living. It\u2019s vegan lifestyle blog where we curate clothing, cosmetics, etc. that is environment-friendly and cruelty-free.<br \/>\nWe grew up loving the environment, and always felt the need to do something for it. This is a step ahead in that direction. If the readership on the blog keeps increasing, we\u2019ll expand to doing other things for the planet. She is a landscape architect and very attached to the flora. I\u2019ve always been a tree-hugger so this is the intersection point of our love for nature and fashion. It\u2019s based on the idea that if the consumers become aware of what they are investing in, they will shop more responsibly. I truly believe together we can fight climate change and all the human rights violated in the fashion and lifestyle industry. It\u2019s basically for anybody who adores the nature or loves animals or fellow humans.<br \/>\n<strong>You can find us on: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/theveganwardrobe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">The Vegan Wardrobe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>11. Is writing more of a passion or profession for you?<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019d say I am pursuing my passion, professionally.<\/p>\n<h3>12. Any message you would like to give to others?<\/h3>\n<p>I just want to tell everybody to always fight for what they believe in. In the end, it\u2019s all really worth it. I grew up in a North Indian milieu and saw women always being treated as secondary citizens. It still irks me and I wish people were kinder to each other. One should have the fire within them to fight for their rights. I am a feminist I think it is the need of the hour, now more than ever. So don\u2019t ever trap the fireflies in your body, let them go soul searching.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gauriawasthi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"external\">Follow Gauri Awasthi on Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>22 year old Gauri Awasthi from Uttar Pradesh is not only a select writer on Terribly Tiny Tales and Buzzfeed India but also a trained\u00a0Bharatanatyam dancer.
